any former time ? And can the trade, under any cir cumstances, be annihilated, until, all the nations of the world unite for its abolition ? These are quefi ttons which every officer who has 'serVed that 'coast can answer, and the reply would be such as to lead to another question, namely, What then is the use of keeping up a squadron for an object while'', it is a& mitted, it has not the power of accomplishing ? Our detestation of the Slave Trade is as deep and as firm Its that expressed by any of our Cotemporaries ; but we are satisfied that the cause of humanity oil the whole, has suffered rather than benefited by the course whichhas been adopted, and if it has not been greatly promoted, then we contend, that the loss of life, and the expence of the system, ought to lead to its final abandonment. Iteductions,are talked of, and it is said that the naval ann of the country will be again weakened. If this rrport should prove true, we trust that the reduction will be made by the withdrawal of our squadron from the east of Africa. W e see that two military officers, emulous of the Cone of the late Scotch gentleman pedlar, who went about begging and plaguing the lieges with the drones sf his bagpipes, have undertaken, for a wager, to sing for two twins in every county in England, and collect sum of 12/. sterling besides. These gentlemen vagrants were last seen in Windsor. There is some thing so immeasureably absurd, so ineffably, so utterly, so monstrously ridiculous in • this proceeding, that it seems hardly worthy of notice ; for we should have thought that a common' sense of decency and pro priety would have kept persons, moving in respectable 'society, from following such avocations, and degrading themselves and their connections by acting such out rageous follies. But the example of fashionable men, • "'td of the military in particular, is so catching, that we should not be surprised to find bankers' clerks, tradesmen, shopmen, and the rest of the fraternity, imitating this glo -9404i example, and emulating the vagrancy fame of the ...military officers aforesaid. if gentlemen will descend into the lower walks of like, and will condescend to turn vagrants, and go squalling and' bellowing over the country, they ought to bear the consequences of their oisi deliberate follies, and we exhort, beseech, and eamestly entreat the first Magistrate possessing com lnoli sense, to vindicate the character of English gen tlemen, by clapping these mendicants upon' the tread 'llia of the nearest house of correction, and so to leave theta to feast on prison allowance, to exercise on the treml-mill, and to reflect at leisure on their follies for a month or so.' We are quite sure, after this example, ''`e shell hear of no more such extravagancies. I ' l default of such a Magistrate, we commend these gents to the tender mercies of the Mendicant tribe, humbly implore his Gipsy Majesty to despatch his I.:missaries fully instructed and folly prepared to yin (l"te his and their honor, and to punish' these I's for their impudence, and the injury they must !lase sustained in their calling, by such conduct. But ',sit pos s ibl e to b e li eve t h at military officers would so 4 egrade themselves?

As the non-payment of these bills might have subjected the house which drew them to much inconvenience, they applied to the managers of the mines for that compa4 in Mexico, requir ing to have the title deeds of the propeity deposited in the hands of some third party as security, until the fate of the bills sent to London was known. It is stated, howeier, by individuals inter ested at home, that all the bills have subseqUently been paid; and that being the case, the lien of Measis.

The storm which broke over Paris on the night' of the 13th and 14th, has extended its violence to a great distance. In the neighbourhood of Troyes; it broke down and tore up several large trees. In the Commercial Dock at Havre, six ships, after break ing their cables were sent adrift. One ship in the King'S basin had its mizen mast broken. A shipwreck is said to have taken place at Heve, but the rumour is not confirmed. The captains of those ships that entered yesterday, and this morning, say that it was a dreadful night at sea ; we Lave not, however,' heard of more disasters. The accounts of the situation of the cotton-weavers and maim factureis in Blackburn and and its vicinity continue to be in the highest degree distressing. It is calculated that, in the district round Blackburn, there are about '70,000 poor people who de pend on that description of labour, of which number more than 20,000 are quite out of work. As the compassion of the master manufacturers for the state of the starving poor, combined with the miserably low rate of wages, induces them to continue work ing as much as possible, it is supposed that even at the present rate, far more goods are manufactured than can be consumed, so that the number of people out of work is likely to increase rather than, diminish, and:this at the speedy. approach of the inclement season. There appears to be far more distress in the district round Blackburn than in any other part of England. A French paper contains a trial fora murder of a horrible de scription in the arrondissement of Langres. A farmer of the name of Jacob, left a child 13 years of age ill in bed, and went out to his work. On his return the boy was found dead with blows of a hammer. The murderer, for some time undetected, was found to be an old woman, who added robbery to murder. She was not seen going into the house, and only was suspected by the use of words which betrayed her guilt. She denied the crime on her trial. She was found guilty, and condemned to forced labour for Commercial letters received to-day from the coast of the Black Sea, describe the operations of the Russian Army in Georgia, as being nearly suspended, in consequence of the state of the weather, and the had condition of the roads, which render the transport of artillery nearly impossible. From these causes it k supposed that no farther warlike operations will take place till the spring of the year. THE FUNDS. • 'CITY, Twelve o' Chick. The Consols Market opened this morning at 83f for the `4Bth inst., and 841 for January; they have since been heavy, at a decline of per Cent., business having been effected at tin — sellers, they are now buyers. The transactions in the Foreign Funds are not very brisk ; Mexican Bonds look heavy, and well they may ; if report speaks truth, it is said a fresh batch of Bills, to the tune of one million of dollars, have been drawn by the Finance Ministers, or the late Agents of the Mexican Government, a part of which made their appearance • for acceptance yesterday, to the amount of 30,000!. and not meeting with the need ful, were then taken to the preeent agents for their interference, when the reply was they would not interfere. It is difficult to un derstand upon what principle bills could have been put into circulation under circumstances already known. The Mexican Government say, their late agents owe them a very large balance, whilst, it is reported, this statement is denied by the house in question ; and a disputed account is therefore existing between the parties. Another equally confident rumour is, that some of the hills (one is mentioned for 10,000!.) has been offered to be paid immediately, on allowing the discount, and names are given as. the holders—one or the other must he untrue. In the mean time, whilst these reports are flying about, the stock will be in a feverish state at 671. Colombian Bonds are at 42, and very little business in either that or Mexican. Schemes are without life, and no inquiry scarcely made about them. Tliee per Cent. Consols, 831; Ditto for January, 841 ; Iran 4 per Cent. Bonds, 40 2 pith ; Richequer Bills, 22 3 pm.

Hart. 04600 'Pa:tter,;(in 3lri. Thigh's father, was also present... The object or the'present affidavits, ws to contradict statements that had been made in the affidavits of Mr. Wellesley and Mrs. Bligh ; particularly in that gentleman's of the 25th of May, and in the lady's of the 30th of the same month. The statements went to great length, and excited the most in tense interest in all present, and , we wermprepared to have given a full report of all that passed,. which occupied the time of the Court until within a very few minutes of his Lordship's adjourn ing into the House of Loids; but, from respectful deference to the following statement made by the Lord Chancellor, we suspend out-publication mail Mr. Wellesley has lied the oppor tunity of meeting by affidavii the charges and statements of this day. The LORD CHANCILLOR—I think the time you ask for, Mr. Hart, (a week) to consider the affidavits that have been stated this morning, and to advise others to be filed, if you shall think proper, is most reasonable; you shall have whatever time you please for that purpose. I may, however, be wrong, but an the prometlings. of this day, as well as of all the preceding days, have been of 1.13 usider able imputation, I must say, that one is unwilling to part with such a case in the middle of it, where all th►t imputation has been on one side, without stating, that I Mink, and I do ask, that that which has been stated on the one side, should not be stated to the world until the other side has had an oppor tunity of making his statement. Mr. Wellesley, in the course of Mr. Shadwell's detail of the affidavits, entreated leave to contradict some parts, pledging him self, that if what he had stated was taken down by a short-hand writer, he would afterwards Swear to it. The LORD CHANCELLOR said, the ease had got into such a state, that he would not hear a syllable from any party interested in it, until what should beats stated was first on affidavit. Indeed be was very much afraid that such were now the circumstances under which this case stood, that it would be impassible fur it to rest upon the mere decision of the Court of Chancery. Colonel PArr►sow also requested to he heard on behalf of his unfortunate daughter. The LORD CHANCELLOR informed bins also, that he should have every opportunity of making whatever affidavit or affidavits he pleased. Mr. HART desired to have the protection of the Court, iu getting his Lordship to call for a pledge from the other side, that they had now completed their cue. The ATToaNxv-Gxwettat. thought if the extorting of such a pledge would be protection to one side, it would be the greatest persecution to the other. He would make no such pledge, but would keep himself unfettered and free to advise whatever he should think proper to be done, after seeing the affidavits that might be filed in answer to those of to-day. Mr. Run thought such a course of conduct most oppressive ou his client. His LORDSHIP said both sides should have the utmost extent of indulgence in filing affidavits, that the professional rule, with re spect to the introduction of evidence, allowed, but that they should have no more. Mr. Setanwet.t. wished to know whether the Court would to day receive the office copies of the affidavits that had formed the mtning's discussion. His Coalmine thought the better way would be for him not to receive them, until he could have the copies a:so of those thkt might be filed by the other aide. The cue stands for further hearing on this day week. V I OE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT—(Tuis DAY.) The Court was occupied this morning in hearing arguments in a eituse which possessed no general interest. COURT OF KING'S BENCH.—(Tits DAY.) This being Special Paper day, the Court was occupied during the morning in hearing arguments in the case of Relinet v. the Bishop of London, which had been partly heard on Friday last. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALL'S.--Nov. 20. An amazing deal of business was done iesterday on the Derby, at heavy figures. A Noble Lord (who is the most likely to be acquainted with the qualifications of the horse) backed Espagnolle to the sum of 500!. at 2b, 23, and 20 to 1. This gave an im petns to the betting, and a great number backed this horse at 20 to 1, at which odds 30 or 40 thousand pounds must have been staked. 'cutler and Web were at evens, the latter being for shales—thisi we exPented,' Beyond outsiders were backed, and stone interesting double betting obtained the chief attention 'of the tubseribent towards the dose. The Oaks were secondary in the day's business, hot Maria preserved her • pre-eminent station in the odds, and had plenty of backers. Lord G. Cavandiah's Ilarossa filly was also brought up, but had few friends. The Sr. Leger betting was flat, but we suspect that Mr. Russell's filly Emma will rise ere long, for we are informed that at the sale last week, in the north, she might have been sold for 2,000 guinea's, an extraordinary price for a two-year-obi.

The first stage rehearsal of .La Dame 131anehe at Covent Garden Theatre, took place yesterday. Jones's engagement at Covent Ciartlen terminates, this season ; he is tinder treaty with Mr. Price, at Drury-lane. Wrench succeeds him at Covent Garden. We understand that a Memorial, signed by a very large number of • the must respectable Merchants and Bunkers, has been presented to the Trustees of the Boyal Exchange, re questing to have the' Exchange hour altered froM three in the 'afternoon, as at present, to 12 &Work, noon. A day will be gained by this regulation, the dispatch of the Mail, via Liverpool, being now at two roa. It is also in contemplation, we believe, partly in consequence of some recent occurrences, to require pay ment fur Bills on the day they are negociated.—Dutlin Eon insf . A caricature is now exhibited at • Brussels on the failure. of the enterprise of Lord Cochrane ; be is represented quite at his ease, seated in an arm chair, With a bowl of punch before him, id which he takes liberally. A chamber-maid holds Ida hat and a brace of pistols, in the same attitude as one of the Graces in the celebrated picture of David—Mars desarme—holds the hel met and sword of that Cod ; his Lordship has given up his sword to his servant; Patrick, Who asks him bow many Turks he has killed with it,.'or blown up. Lord Cochrane answers, that being a generous enemy, he has contented himself with killing them par conhonaie. The New Series of Olfara Tales, Consists, of two Stories ; one called the Nowlans, the other, Peter Of the Castle— both are leas marked with political features than the First, Series. The Nowlans exhibits the struggles and auff4ings, before anti after a breach of his ordination vows, of a young Roman Catholic priest, and the miseries of a sister, partly resulting from his fall, partly on account of her being abandoned after a Marriage nit recognized by existing' law. Peter of the Castle details a peculiar case of the moral influence, in Ireland, of a religions ordinance, and is also drawn from the workings of human passion, and illustrated by local scenes, habits, and real characters. • A sENSIBLE DEcistoN.-The Chief Justice of Upper Canada decided, in a recent trial, that " a man has a right to chastise his wife moderately, however ungallant such conduct may he considered." CANNIBALISM.—Under this heading, in our last, we detailed some disgusting eiremnstanees attending an exhibi tion in our fair, which has restored to comfort end liberty two poor orphan children, said to be savages. •On Friday se'nniglit, fear having ceased to operate on their minds., they disclosed in plain English, to their present humane protectors (the parish offi cers of St. Andrew's) the facts attending their horrible captivity, barbarous treatment, and beastly sustenance. The fellow Sanger, and his precious better-half (herself mother of four children) pur- Chased them about Christmas last, of " a real *amyl," (if we may use such a fair-gulling phrase) who claimed to be their aunt, iind who then resided, it is said, at Nottingham. This reckless creature only demanded one guinea each, and subsequently parted with them for twenty-five shillings. Our blood curdles at th e t h ou ght, while cur hand almost refuses to record a deed so blackening of the fume which ever ought to distin guish a Christian country. • But we must restune our narrative. The poor children are bother and sister, and lost both father and mother when infanta. They • were consigned to the brute i n question, and by her to the no less' brutal usage of Sanger, who has malady exhibited them as savagea, feeding them of ' carrion for the amusement of a British public, and the enriching than raw meat and seal oil' of his ' pocket . The beatings bestowed by this tuna and his Meeto were terrible, if we are to believe the assertions rit the little captives.

' Rii_TAIITS. Mr. RIDGWAY has just putlished a Letter from Earl Stanhope, on the Corn Laws, by a perusal of which it will be seen that his Lordship is decidedly against any alteration in the Corn Laws which, may affect the interests of the Landholders. We have merely room to give the folloWing extract from the Pamphlet, which will give a tolerable idea of his Lordship's sentiments upon a question which must occupy the serious attention of Parliament, but upon which the public mind is. pretty generally made up as to the absolute necessity of some modification, at least,. in the Corn Laws, if not a free trade in corn : . Although it is certain and undeniable, that the home market is the most valuable, and the most important, and that any meaanre which destroy s th e p rosper i ty o f t h e agricultural claw s Ulyst de prive the manufacturers of their best customers, some of the ma nufacturers are so blind to their own interests, or have Imia so much blinded by "issliticinl economy," that they are i.litraorous for a free trade in co rn , Th ey see i n that measure only the rigfecr that 'it would product, upon the wages of Labour, which do not, however, depend solely upon the prices of provisions, hot are also affected by the proportion that exists between the Sapply and the Demand for labour. This consideration appears to be entirely forgotten by them, although its truth has been established, nut only by theory, but by, the unerring test of experience, in a great number of instances, and, therefore, cannot admit of doubt. —lt. is said that corn is a necessary of lite, and ought, con sequently, to be purchased where it can be procured at the cheapest Price. If it were proposed to apply this doctrine to all other, articles which are necessaries or comforts of life, gud which, a* is well known, are much cheaper on the continent. than in this country, we should not hear inch an outcry against the Corn Laws ; and the pretended patriotism of modern innovators 'Would not prevent them from deeltiiming against a doctrine of which the application would prove Most dangerous, nay utterly destructive to the manufacturers and to the artisans, as well as to the lauded interest. The doctrine, if it were correct with respect to Corn, would, hoWever, be equally correct in all its applications, and ill would not only be just, but indispensably requisite, that it should be generally applied. There are, indeed, some persons, who, as they are not thorn selvee owners or occupiers of Laud, loudly exclaim that the Agri cultural interest " ought to make sacrifices for the " general benefit of the country." Why should the agricultural interest be expected to do so more than the Fuodholders who receive their dividends, or the clergy who receive their tithes, or any other chow of the connouuity, which enjoy a the income arisiug from 4 property, in tim fruits of its industry and exertions ?' it is from the agricul tural interest, than from any other in the country, that any sacri fice whatever ran be reasonably eXpeeted Or required, as it already bears exclusively, but most unjustly, the enormous, and; in some cases, almost intolerable bt - then of the Poor'it Hates, (amounting, as they do, to a greater aunt than the whole revenue of the Prus sian monarchy), and also of the tithes, and of a great variety of other local charges, which do not iu the least affect any other class of the community. The amount of those charges has been shown by the Earl of Lauderdale to befs7 per cent. on the rent. I contend also, that the owners and occupiers of hind have an undoubted right to the full, secure, and unmolested enjoyment of their property, of which they could not be deprived without the most flagrant and atrocious injustice ; by a measure which would exact tint greatest sacrifice exclusively from them, and not from the other classes of the population, even if such a sacrifice were beneficial to the rest of the community. I contend, however, and tun ready to. prove, that the sacrifice would bring ruin upon all classes; and the truth cannot be too frequently repeated, or too forcibly urged, that nu class of society can benefit by the adversity of another, and that no Government has, or'cim have, the right of plundering, one portion of the community for the profit of auother. SURREY TIII;ATRE. This Theatre which, it seems, bat passed into the hands of Messrs. Dunn and Docker, re-opened last night (with a variety of internal decorations) for the season, The boxes have been newly covered with rich crimson paper, and, a magnificent chandelier of stained glass is substituted fur the old one. A new drop see too has been painted expressly by, Wilson, so that.on the whole, the Theatre assumes a very imposing appeurause.
